There is no cussing in the online version. If your child has ever seen a M rated show, they will be fine with the online versions violence. Don’t get me wrong, there is still violence but it is seriously no worse than shows rated M. But on the other hand, the online version is much tamer, less violent, no drugs, no nudity and no cussing. I think the story mode would be maybe 14+ in my opinion because that’s where all the real bad stuff is. And all the “nudity” is only accessible in the story mode in the missions. The reason the game is R18+ is because of the story mode…Īll the big violence, gore, swearing, drugs/alcohol is in the story. Grand theft auto is a very controversial game and does have a bad reputation….īut I’m here to tell you that it is not nearly as bad as you think…. For GTA V Story Mode I'd say 14-15+ years of age. However, you will notice some violence and potential drug use, so I'd say 12+ years of age is fine for Online. And yeah, all sexual content is optional in Online. But once you are in Online, you can do anything without needing to rob, steal or visit a strip club before being free.
#Play the real grand theft auto online for free#
On next-gen consoles (PS5 & Xbox Series X&S) Online is a standalone game (PS5 users get it for free until June 14th), however on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, the game Grand Theft Auto V is required to play Online, and you have to complete Prologue (bank robbery) before playing Online, so that part should probably be played through by parents. In Story Mode, you have to complete a bank robbery and a financial bluff car repossession before being free to do anything. It is a lot more child friendly (although not for -10 years of age) since it lets you do esentially a whole lot of stuff without being forced to do illegal missions first. The story of Grand Theft Auto V is gruesome and contains a lot of sexual intercourse, so it is not for kids to play, but Online is a different thing. do it in the real world, and if you sometimes play the game with your kid you. GTA V and GTA Online are both violent and mature games. Read Grand Theft Auto V (2022) reviews from parents on Common Sense Media.
